Imagine standing on stage singing a song you practiced all week, but someone in the front row starts talking loudly and crunching a bag of chips!
When we watch musicians play, we are the audience, and our behavior helps the performers do their very best.
What simple rules can help us become the best audience possible?
The Three Audience Superpowers

When everyone keeps their bodies calm and quiet, the music can travel across the room without any distractions.
We know we should be quiet during the song, but how do we show the musicians that we loved their performance?
When to Clap
Applause means clapping your hands together to say 'thank you' and 'great job' to the performers.
Wait until the music completely stops and the musician puts their instrument down or bows before you start to clap.

Does good audience behavior only matter when musicians are right in front of us on a stage?
